Hi,

I am using a Lenovo T520 laptop and Genode version 15-11. If I run seoul-fancy.run with the the bzImage-3.1 and tc-browser.gz (downloaded by the script from genode.org), I succeed in booting into an X environment after clicking on the init button when Genode's window manager comes up. Therefore, I know I have compiled the tools and enabled my build environment correctly.

Then I replaced the kernel: bzImage-3.1 and initrd: tc-browser.gz with a custom-compiled bzImage ( I need to enable an additional kernel feature), and the standard core.gz. I modified the run script so they would download from my web server running on localhost.

I am then loading the minimal TC extensions (after booting to the shell) to load the X windows environment:

tce-load -wi Xvesa.tcz tce-load -wi Xlibs.tcz tce-load -wi Xprogs.tcz tce-load -wi aterm.tcz tce-load -wi flwm_topside.tcz tce-load -wi wbar.tcz

Using the standard cmdline in the seoul-fancy.run script, the network would not start, so I added init=linuxrc to the cmdline, which made the network work. However some values of vga=xxx break the network (no IP address).

No matter what is the issue with the network, I can find no way to make startx to work, regardless of which values for vga I use from this table ( the standard seoul-fancy.run script used 0x314 = 791 in the table below.

Color 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 256 8 bit 769 771 773 775 32000 15 bit 784 787 790 793 65000 16 bit 785 788 791 794 16.7M 24 bit 786 789 792 795

Does anyone have a working solution?
